Pamela Anderson owes $493,000 in back taxes

Pamela Anderson better win Dancing With the Stars, because she's gonna need the extra cash. California officials say she owes $493,000 in income taxes, the AP reports. She should have that stuffed in her shorts, shouldn't she?

Anderson is among 250 individual and business taxpayers that owe more than $100,000 in back taxes, according to an annual list of delinquent taxpayers released by California this week. State records show a tax lien for $493,144 was filed against Anderson in April 2009.

Her attorney, Robert T. Leonard, is representing her but didn't want to comment on the case. She and Nicolas Cage should have a big party where they throw their money into a bonfire, although it sounds like they may already have done that.
